5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and careful treatment, April 21, 2002
By 
Mark Wallace (Mission Viejo, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Oracle9i Application Server Portal Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)
Oracle Portal allows you to "Webify" a database, as well as to create a general-purpose portal for your users. The ideas and techniques from this book helped me get a database of mine onto the Web quickly and efficiently. Everything you'll need is there, from the initial installation of the product, to on-going administration of your portal(s). In between is a thorough treatment of what should be done to facilitate browser-based access to your data.

The book doesn't just dump syntax on you. It explains what portals are, and how to plan for one before building it. Key features of the Oracle product are explained clearly, first at a high level, so that you will later understand what you're doing when it gets to "click here, and type there." And, when it does get down to the lowest-level details, the book reflects the care that the authors must have taken to ensure accuracy.

All-in-all, a thorough treatment that should be indispensable to new Portal developers, while still offering value to all but the most advanced and experienced ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Rapid Development & Understanding, March 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle9i Application Server Portal Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)
Outstanding in its clarity. Especially useful in first giving an overview/purpose for exercises, and, then, going thru an exercise step by step. Remarkably error and typo-free compared to many other technical, more expensive computer textbooks I've used in a classroom.

1.0 out of 5 stars OTN is much more better, April 16, 2002
This review is from: Oracle9i Application Server Portal Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)
The installation procedure is in some points wrong. so a beginner has no chance to run the samples. The theory part of this book is not bad but in some chapters more or less stuff for kids! A frank advice, try to find another book.
